Check out the best quotes of the night!

"Not to be outdone, NBC is also a network." — Host Seth Meyers, reminding his home network that it's not doing very well

"You got so fat since the Oscars, I almost didn't recognize you." — Jimmy Kimmel, ripping into Matthew McConaughey [5]

"It's an honor to be cohosting the Emmys with you this evening!" — Andy Samberg [9], misunderstanding his role

"None of us will ever make as much money as Kim Kardashian [10] for her iPhone game." — Jimmy Fallon [11], on the reality of not being a Kardashian

"Haha, I won. I knew I would because I am the best actor. Parsons, Cheadle, H. Macy, Joey from Friends, and Louis from Louie spelled slightly differently. Look at their stupid faces." — Ricky Gervais, reading from his never-given acceptance speech

"Mother, why don't you love me like you love Uncle Jaime?" — Andy Samberg [12], pretending to be Joffrey from Game of Thrones to Lena Headey
